Dinner, it began to snow...and snow...and snow. After a com.
blizzard and a near shut-out in 2016, this year we were
better prepared. We had advertised that we would serve
dinner regardless of weather and that we would provide
rides for those who needed them. And so we did. The
weather did not hold back the nearly 100 brave souls who
attended our fine and festive gathering. Guests feasted
on a meal catered by Jeff Zak: chicken with all the tradi-

The afternoon's entertainment included serenading by
the East Middle School Singers, delightful hosting by the
Junior Honor Society members from West Middle School
and the Rotary Interact members from the PCEP high
schools, a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus, and a rousing
sing-along with a terrific Barry Manilow impersonator. "Barry Manilow" entertaining at our Senior Dinner
